Heath Fritillary

The Heath Fritillary (Melitaea athalia) is one of our rarest resident butterflies and was considered to be on the brink of extinction in the late 1970s. Conservation efforts have saved it, but it is confined to just a few small sites in England.

Taken a couple weeks ago, it was great to see these, and they were in good numbers too.
